Storytelling: Confessions Of A Dangerous Deer With Megan Rippey
Actor/dancer/writer/performer Megan Rippey discusses pole dancing, skinny dipping, tipping etiquette and leporidae reproductive cycles. That’s right. It’s one of the sexy episodes.
We sat down with actor/dancer/writer/performer Megan Rippey as she was in the process of moving her solo show Deer Woman from the showcase stage of The Whitefire Theatre to The Fringe Festival circuit. Having gotten the nuts-n-bolts perspective of directing the show from Valerie Hager, we were thrilled for the chance to find out how the play was written and, of course, which parts were true, which were lensed truth and which were fabricated. The story of the origins of Deer Woman turns out to be one that spans her entire life (up until now at least). Along the way, we get into her work as an exotic dancer, her time as a student earning her MFA and the ingredients that had to come together to make Deer Woman possible. As always, thank you for listening!

Storytelling: Harnessing The Power Of The Solo Show With Director Valerie Hager
Director Valerie Hager discusses getting a solo show up on its feet, drug addiction (and recovery), and what it’s like growing up with a father who’s a mime.
Director Valerie Hager brings a new phrase into The Hollywood Fishbowl ecosystem and it’s one we’ve needed for a long time - “Beast Forward”. Whether she’s acting, dancing, directing or sitting on our sofa chatting, that phrase definitely functions as a beacon for Valerie. While there’s a lot to learn from what she’s working on now, including Deer Woman (a solo show written and performed by Megan Rippey), there’s just as much to be learned from the stories of her earlier years as the daughter of a mime as well as the time she spent living the life of an addict. As always, thank you for listening!

If you listen to his original episode (found in our Storytelling series) and then watch some Deadly Class, you’ll be celebrating his success just as enthusiastically as I am. Why? Listen and you’ll know. Then, we do something unprecedented on The Fishbowl. We go into speed rounds with heaps of new guests and a returning fan favorite.
